Great to sit down with @ACSCAN volunteers from Tularosa yesterday. Where you live shouldn't decide whether you survive cancer. I know firsthand how much time matters when it comes to treating cancer. Early screening and access to quality treatment close to home save lives. I'll fight to expand rural healthcare and fund effective cancer research.

Proud to support the @ACSCAN Cancer promise 💪 My grandpa passed away due to leukemia (blood cancer) and my grandma passed away due to lung cancer so the vision and mission of ACSCAN is near and dear to me and something I will strongly support as your next Congresswoman for NY-22 🇺🇸

Thank you @BullerforNY for signing the #CancerPromise. Your commitment to prioritizing cancer patients if elected is appreciated! @MannionforNY will you join in this commitment and sign the Cancer Promise, so cancer patients know where you stand on important issues? #CancerVotes

Thank you to the @ACSCAN and to the advocates from Putnam County, Toledo, and across Ohio who shared their powerful stories today.
Funding cancer research should never be a partisan fight, and I'll keep working alongside both parties to make sure we’re investing in this life-saving research. A cancer diagnosis is hard enough. No one should have to fight for their life while fighting the health care system at the same time. That’s why I’m fighting to lower the cost of screenings and treatment, expand access to quality care close to home, and restore the funding to Medicare and Medicaid that was cut by the Big Bonanza for Billionaire’s Bill.
Thank you to the advocates, survivors, and families who shared their stories and are leading this fight. I’ll keep fighting with you in Washington.

🌸BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH🌸
Shout out to all of the amazing advocates who support patients and families every single day! Thanks to the advocacy of groups like @ACSCAN and @ACSCANWisconsin, we passed Gail's Law this year. Now women at high risk for breast cancer have increased access to critical screenings for early detection 🩷

Joined the @ACSCAN Rhode Island Research Breakfast this morning.
So many have lost loved ones to cancer. We must continue funding research to improve prevention, treatment, and access to affordable care.

Signing the #CancerPromise is the best way to let voters know that if elected, candidates will commit to making cancer a priority. @WhatleyNC @RoyCooperNC , will you sign today and support @ACSCAN’s cancer priorities to end cancer as we know it?

We spy @ACSCAN encouraging candidates to sign the #CancerPromise, which means pledging to support cancer research, affordable health care, and cancer prevention & early detection.
We hope @jayfeely will join the 150+ candidates who have already signed. – at Arizona, USA

“I wish lawmakers knew how #CancerResearch funding makes a difference in people's lives.”
For our October Volunteer Spotlight, we're proud to feature Dr. Stephanie Chapelliquen, a cancer researcher and Vice State Lead Ambassador for @ACSCANNJ.
Hear Stephanie's journey ⬇️
Advocates pushed back on a proposal that would have added a new layer of political review for cancer research grants. While officials have backed away from this for now, threats continue.
